There is a new open source project webswing.org. It is a web server where you deploy your swing application. The application is rendered to html canvas through websockets, so you get the exact same look and feel like on desktop.

AjaxSwing is a run-time tool and needs a server license for commercial use.

You might want to try Mia Transformer -parts of the website are in French-. They change Swing Java code to GWT Java Code and GWT changes it to Javascript and then if you want you can use Google V8 compiler for faster execution. Of course it is not 100%. We are going to try it for a large project and see if it works.

The other link provided to us was SwingWeb. Have not checked it out though.

Will keep you posted. If you come across a workable solution please share.
